Guantanamo detainees won't be resettling in Berkeley, at least for now.

Berkeley's City Council rejected a measure Tuesday night that would have invited two detainees who have been cleared of wrongdoing by the U.S. Department of Defense. The measure received four yes votes, one no and four abstentions. The measure needed five ayes to pass.

Another measure, proposed by Mayor Tom Bates and Councilwoman Linda Maio, would have postponed the issue on the ground that, according to the city manager, federal legislation prohibits Guantanamo detainees from settling in the United States.

That measure also died, with two yes votes, three nos and four abstentions.
